January 31, 2023Wonderful day exploring El Salvador’s Mayan ruins. Had to get an early start due to my ships early departure, so my guide Rafael drove me to Volcan de Santa Ana... read more to see an incredible lake and wonderful views of Volcan Izalco before heading to Tazumal. Rafael was very knowledgeable about the Mayan ruins and provided great insight into the historical and archaeological sites. The highlight of the tour was Joya de Ceren. El Salvador is a beautiful country and Rafael’s pride was evident and infectious. Highly recommend Eco Tours Petate

I felt like we got to see a lot of the city in a short amount of time. Also went to el Boquerón which was fantastic, ate lunch and did the slide at Picnic. The ride back to the airport was very smooth and I got back through security and immigration within five minutes! 10/10 recommend if you have a long layover in San Salvador!

Because I was the only person in the tour, we were able to customize it and be flexible as needed. We switched up the order of the day with the clouds hanging over El Boqueron, and everything ended up working out perfectly.
I highly recommend this tour and Osmaro as a guide. You will learn a lot about El Salvador and its beauty!pinkfood
November 12, 2022If you are coming to El Salvador and you are looking for a reliable and passionate tour provider, look no further!
We had the pleasure of going on the... read more Ruta de Las Flores tour with Osmaro in late October 2022 and we could not have asked for a better experienced and knowledgeable guide.
So often when you're traveling, guided tours can be very robotic and passionless.
We loved everything about the day and the insight that Osmaro gave us. He definitely went the extra mile to ensure that we saw an authentic side of El Salvador.
A 100% trustable, dependable company that we felt provided extremely good value. Thank youKasia B

Very professional & knowledgeable, yet super friendly & considerate. Would absolutely recommend this tour & Eco Tours Petate.

Our tour guide Osmaro was so well educated on the land and history of... read more the country. He was also so personable and friendly. Many stops were made for pictures. We had lunch at a local spot on the lake. Overall wonderful and unforgettable experience. Felt very safe beginning to end.

October 13, 2022Memorable day trip around El Salvador; Osmaro was first-class guide - Our day trip comprised Cerro Verde, Tazumal, Joya de Ceren and Suchitoto. This tailored itinerary involves lots of driving and took us 12 hours. Osmaro was the only tour operator... read more in San Salvador willing to do such a long driving trip and this positive, can-do attitude was obvious throughout the day. Osmaro has an encyclopedic knowledge of El Salvador politics, history and nature and this kept us entertained at all times. Even when we were returning to San Salvador at night, Osmaro was still full of energy and pointing out interesting sights to us. Since we only had a few days in El Salvador on a stopover to San Francisco, this tour gave us an excellent insight into the country's natural beauty, its Mayan historical sites, and colonial architecture in Suchitoto. We found El Salvador to be very safe since the government has done an excellent job in recent months in stopping gang violence. Don't hesitate to book a flight here and when you arrive I strongly recommend you book a tour with Osmaro & Eco Tours Petate.

You NEED this tour! - Our guide Rafa went out of his way to make us feel welcome. He went above and beyond and we ended up going to another town in addition to Suchitoto... read more where we learned about the war from a former member of the guerrillas. Seeing so much history and the beauty of El Salvador was awesome. I highly recommend.
September 15, 2022Amazing tour with an exceptional company! - If you have the time, you have to sign up with Eco Tours and explore our beautiful country of El Salvador. There’s so much to see and explore! We had... read more Osmaro as our guide and couldn’t have asked for better company during this beautiful trip. Not only was he friendly and knowledgeable, he genuinely has a great charisma about him and it felt as if we had known each other for years! I went in the tour with my mom and aunt, we all decided to spend a day exploring. We HIGHLY recommend this company, we will be back to explore more when we come to visit family again.
You won’t be disappointed!!!

Osmaro went above and beyond to have us enjoy our time and offered knowledgeable historical commentary to the sites we were seeing.
The sites were interesting and beautiful. We walked small towns, did some shopping, had a tour of a coffee farm (with tasting included), and relaxed at the hot springs. While in the towns, Osmaro kept the participants interests in mind and prioritized sites based off our interests.
It was an excellent tour!paige_lipsky

Day trip to Perquin from San Sansalvador (peace route) - I really wanted to learn about the civil war and go to Perquin and El Mozate but it’s a very long trip by public transport and even a long drive... read more if you hire a car So I decided to use Eco tours and was so fortunate to get Osmaro as my guide and driver. He picked me up from my hostel at 5am with a big smile on his face despite the early start and he kept his perfect humor and kind personality throughout the entire trip! We stopped for breakfast on the way and then carried on the Perquin and to the civil war museum there. Honestly, unless you have perfect Spanish I recommend having a guide to go here as otherwise you will not be able to get a perfect translation from the former guerrilla soldiers that now act as guides and a living history at the museum. It was such a profound experience hearing their stories and learning about how much pain the civil war has caused in El Salvador up to this day. I very strongly recommend going to this museum. After that Osmaro took me to an absolutely beautiful waterfall and then onto El Mozate where the most awful massacre occurred. He explained everything to me about the civil war and answered any question of any topic I asked him relating to El Salvador. He was so kind and personable that I felt like I spent the day with my super knowledgeable and smart El Salvadorian friend than being on a tour! I learnt so much and really enjoyed his company and conversation. He was also kind as to stop the car anytime I wanted to take a photo, feed a street dog, or help me find vegan options in the restaurant. No ask was too much. Cannot recommend Osmaro and Eco tours enough!!
August 22, 2022The perfect day in El Salvador - This tour and this company was amazing. My tour guide was Osmaro. He was very knowledgeable about El Salvador and all the towns we went to visit. His English was... read more great and he quickly picked up on my interests and took me to specific places I was more interested in. He made sure I got to see everything and more. It was a great day. I was tracking alone for this trip and I felt very safe with this company. I would definitely recommend this for solo travelers and also for families!

June 29, 2022Very nice and positive - Rafael picked us (my son and I) up from the hotel and started to explain the history of El Salvador as driving towards Tazumal. He comes across as positive, proud,... read more passionate, and enthusiastic about the history of the country and his people. My son really enjoyed his explanations and personality.

Have a broad view of San Salvador’s history, current politics, social movement and culture from a highly knowledgeable, experienced and curious salvadoreño’s perspective.

It was a joy to spend a day with a such lovely human being.
We have infinite appreciation for this experience, Thank you Rafael!
